Spring along the Feather River




Spring in northern California is a sight to behold. Today we drove a few miles in the Feather River Canyon and enjoyed the colors of spring. The poppies were blooming along the side of the road, along with the purple lupine. While a few blossoms on the redbud were still evident, they are mostly replaced with greenery.


One of the interesting views along the highway are the two bridges at Pulga. It's rare to see a bridge go under another bridge, but that happens in the Feather River. The trains use one side of the canyon and the cars use the other, and every so often their paths cross. In fact, there are 2 sets of double bridges on the Feather River. I wonder if that happens anywhere else?
